Where word turns up in the game
word is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across two difficulty tiers. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where word is the trap
- answernoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is response, in the sense "a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation", and word is one of the three tiles that lose.
- booknoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is volume, in the sense "physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together", with word sitting one tile away.
- raiseverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is recruit, in the sense "cause to assemble or enlist in military", and word is on the board beside it.
